The West Trenton Toys for Tots collection has hit a snag in its collection of unwrapped toys for children in Mercer and Hunterdon counties this year after its largest donor canceled its toy drive.

The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots team tasked with collecting toys for underprivileged children in the area said it is looking for donations so it can still provide gifts to as many children as possible.

“We are in need,” said Staff Sgt. Eric Frias, who is stationed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and is leading the local effort this year.

Frias declined to identify the donor that canceled.

If Toys for Tots cannot raise money or receive more toy donations, the group will not be able to fill as many requests as it has in the past, a spokeswoman for the nonprofit group said.

Toy donations will be accepted until Dec. 18. Frias said the group has held a few events to accept donations, but has not been able to rally the same support as in years past.

To make a monetary donation or to find information about how to drop off a toy, visit the Toys for Tots website at ToysforTots.org, click the “make a donation” tab, choose the “direct my gift to” option and select the NJ West Trenton Campaign as the donor.
